Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਮਨੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਨੋ ਮਿਟੇ ਜੰਜਾਲ ॥
man tariptaano mitay janjaal.
My mind is satisfied, and my entanglements have been dissolved.
ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਪੁਨਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਕਿਰਪਾਲ ॥੧॥
parabh apunaa ho-i-aa kirpaal. ||1||
God has become merciful to me. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind is content, and my entanglements have dissolved.
God has shown me mercy.
A content mind and untangled life are mercy's gift, not your own achievement.
This one is about a calm, happy mind being a gift.
Man tariptaano mitay janjaal — my mind is satisfied, and my tangles are gone. The restless mind is finally content.
Why? Parabh apunaa ho-i-aa kirpaal — my own Lord has been kind to me.
Think of a knotted necklace you could not untangle. Someone gently takes it and loosens every knot. The calm you feel was a gift, not something you won by trying harder.
A Question to Sit With
What would a truly content mind feel like for you?
